Slide3Understanding Polio
Polio (aka poliomyelitis) is:
a disabling and life-threatening disease
caused by the poliovirusPolio can be spread through:Contact with the feces (poop) of an infected personDroplets from a sneeze or cough of an infected personPeople who are infected even without symptoms Symptoms of Infection:1 out of 4: flu-like symptoms (sore throat, fever, etc)1 out of 25: meningitis infection of brain or spinal cord
1 out of 200: paralysis/weakness in arms, legs, or both
Slide4Think About It
What microbe causes polio?
How is polio spread in a community?
Why do some communities lack access to clean water and sewage sanitation?
Slide5Polio and CDC
Polio usually infects childrenPolio infection can cause paralysis in any area of bodyPhrenic nerve paralysis affects diaphragm muscle and leads to an inability to breatheIron lungs provided artificial respiration for polio patients
Without iron lung, patients diedToday, portable respirators have replaced the need for iron lungs
Slide6Polio and CDC
President Franklin D. Rooseveltcontracted polio and was partiallyparalyzedRoosevelt asked Basil O’Connor
to found National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to study polio, which later became the March of DimesCDC and partners are working to globally eradicate polio through vaccinationLast case of endemic (naturally occurring) polio in U.S. was in 1979
Slide7Think About It
What symptom is required for a person to be considered to have polio?
What types of discrimination do people with physical disabilities experience?
What are the disadvantages of iron lung treatment?

Slide9Think About It
What are the dangers associated with polio?
Why is it important for everyone to understand the dangers of polio?
How can your efforts support the efforts of CDC?
Slide10Give it a Try
Call to Action!
Create a lung model.
Conduct a breathing demonstration.
Share your findings.
Why do you think participation is important?
Slide11Use the Engineering Design Process
Slide12Give it a Try
1. Create a lung model.
Use a plastic bottle to make a chest cavity
Use straws and balloons to make the windpipe and lungs
Assemble and add the diaphragm muscle and phrenic nerve
Slide13Give it a Try
Record a demonstration of your iron lungs
Pull down on the diaphragm to show how the lungs respond
Describe how paralysis of the phrenic nerve due to polio would change the lungs
2. Conduct a breathing demonstration.
Slide14Give it a Try
3. Share Your Findings
